Chat with us, powered by LiveChat Electronic health records (EHRs) are at the center stage of the effort to improve health care quality and control costs. In addition to allowing medical practitioners to access and record clinical documentation at much faster rates, EHRs are also positively influencing care delivery and nurse-patient interaction. Yet despite the potential benefits of EHRs, their implementation can be a formidable task that has broad-reaching implications for an entire health care organization. In this Discussion, you appraise strategies for obtaining the benefits and overcoming the challenges of implementing and using electronic health records. To Prepare: Review the Learning Resources focusing on the implementation of EHRs in an organization. Reflect on the various approaches used. If applicable, consider your own experiences with implementing EHRs. What were some positive aspects of the implementation? What suggestions would you make to improve the process? Reflect on the reactions of others during the implementation process. Were concerns handled effectively? If you have not had any experiences with an EHR implementation, talk to someone who has and get his or her feedback on the experience. Search the Walden Library for examples of effective and poor implementation of EHRs. Post on or before Day 3 an overview of at least three challenges in the implementation of electronic health records and provide an example of each challenge. Develop strategies for addressing each challenge based on what has been demonstrated to be successful. Cite your resources. —————————————————————- McGonigle, D., & Mastrian, K. G. (2012).

To prepare
Review the information in this week’s Learning Resources, including the first chapter in Pascale, Sternin, and Sternin book and the Bradley, Curry, Ramanadhan, Rowe, Nembhard, and Krumholz article. (Which are uploaded)
Reflect on health care quality problems or issues that warrant systems-level change. Consider the significance of each problem/issue

o How would you apply the principles of positive deviance to address this problem/issue? What specific steps would you take to move from identification of the problem/issue through evaluation of outliers to implementation of a larger scale change to improve quality?
o What examples of positive deviance, if any, are you aware of related to this problem/issue? Conduct research as necessary to see if you can locate one or more instances of positive deviance.

The Assignment
Write a description of the health care quality problem or issue you selected (decreased nurse/patient ratio and its impact on nursing care) and explain how it could be addressed using the principles of positive deviance

Pascale, R. T., Sternin, J., & Sternin, M. (2010). The power of positive deviance: How unlikely innovators solve the world’s toughest problems. Boston, MA: Harvard Business Press.
